Winters in Germany are cold, period. Source: I'm German and live in California now. Not a surprise to me that homes here don't have any heating at all, unthinkable in Germany. Old people would literally die. I have memories of when our heating would break down in some winters, living in an old building with bad insulation (which is very common). You could wear a thick jacket inside and a thick blanket but your hands are freezing so much you can't even type on a keyboard.
